Trying out a new restaurant is always a risk. But you can minimize the chances of a disastrous meal by avoiding a few key dishes. Famous chefs like Gordon Ramsay, Anthony Bourdain , and other culinary professionals from across the globe have strict rules they live by to avoid a bad restaurant experience. Maybe a particular dish is unlikely to be fresh, or it’s notoriously overpriced — or not even what it claims to be. If you’re unsure about a restaurant’s quality, it’s best to steer clear of the following menu items…

Mashed is the ultimate destination for food lovers. Whether you’re learning how to cook or ready to take your kitchen skills to the next level, Mashed has all the tips and tricks you’ll ever need to be a chef… Or at least enough hacks and recipes to help you fake it in the kitchen.

It’s very busy in the Parisian Restaurant. As a scooter zips by, inside the waiter rushes between the tables as the nervous young man gets ready to propose with the ring! It’s just as hectic behind the scenes, with the chef busily preparing the food. This beautifully detailed building is the setting for so many stories and is a great addition to the modular building series. The Parisian Restaurant has a fully-stocked, blue and white tiled kitchen with tableware as well as a cozy apartment with pull-down bed, kitchenette and fireplace. On the top floor is the artist’s room with a studio that includes a cast iron heater, easel, paintbrush and two works of art by the aspiring artist. Outside, stairs lead down to the roof terrace lined with hanging lanterns and flowers where the diners eat alfresco-style. This amazing Parisian Restaurant model even includes a facade with croissants, clams and feather details that recapture the feel of Paris. Includes 5 minifigures: chef, waiter, girl and a romantic couple.
